There’s no odds-on favorite for the NCAA team wrestling title for the first time in years.

About the only thing everyone seems to agree on is that it won’t be Penn State.

The four-time champions Nittany Lions likely will see their run atop college wrestling come to an end during this year’s national meet, which begins today in St. Louis.

In place of Penn State is a trio of favorites: Iowa, Ohio State and Missouri.

The Hawkeyes spent most of the season ranked first. But Missouri beat Iowa last month, and Ohio State managed to tie the Hawkeyes for the Big Ten title.

Here are some things to consider ahead of what promises to be one of the most unpredictable national meets in years.

Hungry Hawkeyes

The Hawkeyes, who’ve won 23 national titles but none since 2010, are as deep as any team in the country. All 10 of their starting wrestlers qualified for the NCAAs, and eight of them are seeded in the top 10. Cory Clark, Mike Evans and heavyweight Bobby Telford are No. 3 seeds, and Brandon Sorenson and Josh Dziewa could also push for national titles.

Hopeful Buckeyes

Ohio State will send seven seeded wrestlers to St. Louis, a group headlined by senior Logan Stieber at 141 pounds. Stieber was recently named the most dominant wrestler in Division I by the NCAA and is seeking to become just the fourth four-time national champion. The Buckeyes also have a pair of underclassmen, Kyle Snyder and Nathan Tomasello, who could end up as national champions.
